Ukraine leak designed to 'split' EU-US diplomacy




  • In the alleged US audio clip, which appears to date to Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych’s offer of top jobs to opposition MPs on 25 January, Victoria Nuland, a senior US state department official, is speaking to Geoffrey Pyatt, the US ambassador to Ukraine.
“So that would be great, I think, to help glue this thing and have the UN help glue it and, you know, fuck the EU,” she says.

  • In the alleged EU clip, a senior EU foreign service official, Helga Schmid, speaks in German to Jan Tombinski, the EU ambassador to Ukraine. 
    She adds: “We have just issued a very strong statement on Bulatov and we are going in that direction [sanctions]. We just don't want to advertise it too loudly because we think it's more effective this way. It annoys me when the press is reporting that the EU is not on the side of freedom.”
Schmid notes: “I don't want that Cathy is put in a corner - this can hurt, politically. This doesn't work and Cathy will speak to [US secretary of state] Kerry about it.”

#fucktheEU #Nuland ... the Americans are going around telling people we're too weak while they are tougher on sanctions... we are going in that direction [sanctions]... why should we go this way? put Cathy in a corner!
